    Anecdotal Reality - Fat Shots

    Aren't a lot of things inelastic? Gasoline, electricity, water, ISPs? Yet we complain about those prices

    Israel under attack from Hamas

    People's paranoia and imagination just go crazy, and they are rewarded with more followers. Somehow we have a society that rewards bad mental health.

    Anecdotal Reality - Fat Shots

    There are both kinds, though the injection is considered better. I have a friend on it for type 2, he has had big issues since COVID 2 years ago. They had him on the pill version but it didn't help enough so they moved him to the injection. I hear it compared to bariatric surgery, but much...

    Indiana Fever - Caitlin Clark

    When I was a pup, Columbus High School had a season ticket lottery. You would by your tickets and a stub would go in the hopper. For two hours they would call numbers to let people go choose their seats. Most of that gym was sold out with season tickets. Although Columbus had the opposite...

    Anecdotal Reality - Fat Shots

    It doesn't fit a popular narrative that obesity is a lack of self control, but these drugs work by going to the receptors the "I am full" signal should normally activate. That would 5o me indicate there is a mechanical problem, not just self control. If it is mechanical, it may well be people...

    se A quick look shows several "similar" drugs using GLP-1: Mounjaro (tirzepatide) This injectable medication helps regulate blood sugar and slows down digestion. Trulicity (dulaglutide) This injectable medication improves blood sugar, slows digestion, and reduces the risk of cardiovascular...

    Anecdotal Reality - Fat Shots

    So the price will never come down from $1000, because they will always need patient support programs? Is this class of drugs unique, do other diabetes drugs have patient support programs like this because drugs like Synjardy aren't 1/10th this price.

    It may be much cheaper than that: https://www.fastcompany.com/91071415/your-1000-per-month-ozempic-costs-5-to-make-says-study It started being sold in 2017, I don't they had to get their research money back but 7 years of $1000 shots has to have made a whole lot of that back.

    Sadly it will be for the Dodgers or Yankees. But for now it is great the most exciting player is a Red.

    Too bad the Reds are struggling. General rule, if you are behind the Pirates you shouldn't be talked about.

    Men's tennis lacks rallies. Maybe going back to wooden rackets would help.

    Indiana Fever - Caitlin Clark

    I get some people are concerned about the athleticism. But for me, I like good competition. Be it pro, college, high school, I just like a good game. In the rare years the IU men are good, I don't like the cupcake games. A 35 point IU game that isn't even that close doesn't interest me. Yet when...

    It is true, men play the game perfectly. I mean below are high paid professional male athletes, not a chance they miss shots...

    Trust the market

    I saw right now the women get 10% of the gross. I saw several of the women in the league saying they realize they can't earn what the men do, they just want to get toward the same 50% the men have. If Clark impacts the TV contract, they might start getting closer. Even at 10% the WNBA has never...

    Indiana Fever - Caitlin Clark

    There are a lot of parents of girls, I think that will keep interest. A lot of little girls play basketball. Most women's players I heard interviewed have listed male players as their idols, I think Clark puts a big dent in that. Personally I won't watch. I didn't watch more than a couple...

    Russia-Ukraine war has begun

    2019 doesn't look like it was very good, worse than any year under Obama. https://www.statista.com/statistics/329256/alien-apprehensions-registered-by-the-us-border-patrol/ And yes, it is much higher now than 2019.

    Trust the market

    Yep, that's how it works. Of course, this year is the Olympics which adds a lot of games. I imagine injury risks will go up.

    Trust the market

    The WNBA players make far more overseas. That is why Greiner wanted to go to Russia, they pay the best for women's basketball. If Clark leads to a ratings bonanza the US pay may go up a little. I don't know how long the TV contract is for. The Fever have like 36 of their 40 games on national TV.

    Disprove my allegation that Trump is paying illegals to cross the border to make Biden look bad. Go ahead, prove for a fact it never happened.
